Late-Nite conversations
With Mama P got me thinking
Reminiscing bout Kris
And how Poinciana was different
Ego be the death of Me
If nothing goes right
I promise to give what's left of me
Praying I blow desperately
Grinding for a chance
To show the world
What I'm made of
Cautious in my surroundings
Seen envy build off of fake love
Never C the same
After cutting ties off
With Lil Dert
Disloyalty's the worse
Like a slumlord on the first
I owner the code of silence
Details you'll never know
Respect is beyond lost
And that bond is
Forever broke mah loc
Who could of knew
That it would end like this
Wish we could fix it
By simply shootin da hands
Right quicc
You tend to learn
When the bridges burn
Some Fresher ash in a newer ern
The years past as the atlas turns
Niggas start to cover
Their war wounds wit tattoos
On da blocc like
Landmarks and statues
When it rains it pours
I feel so blue
Sunshine rises
I feel brand new
Got ups and downs
Highs and lows
Hills and valleys
I'll make it through
In this game
You either win or lose
Reap what you sow
From da fate you choose
Life be sweet
Or life be bitter
Taste buds vary
Depends who chews
I'm 28 but carry mountains
Of weight I couldn't escape
I still walk this tight rope
Wit faith
Who can relate
I watched my older brother
Sacrifice everything to his name
To show me a brighter path
Always puttin food on my plate
Sheesh
To say the least
I know fucked wit his peace
All the run ins that I had wit police
Dem court cases it was killin Venice
I'm 15 and I'm outta control
They holdin on
The devil want my soul
But my bro won't let go
Man For a second
Thought I just might slip
He held me tighter
Than a new vice grip
On some real life shit
Da definition of my brother's keeper
By my side like a hustler's beeper
You tend to learn
When the bridges burn
Some Fresher ash in a newer ern
The years past as the atlas turns
Niggas start to cover
Their war wounds wit tattoos
On da blocc like
Landmarks and statues
When it rains it pours
I feel so blue
Sunshine rises
I feel brand new
Got ups and downs
Highs and lows
Hills and valleys
I'll make it through
In this game
You either win or lose
Reap what you sow
From da fate you choose
Life be sweet
Or life be bitter
Taste buds vary
Depends who chews
Yea Yea taste buds vary
Depends whooo chews
Yea taste buds vary
Depends whoooo chews
Yea taste buds vary
Depends Whooooo chews
Yea taste buds vary
Depends whooooooo chewwwsss
I play them cards how they handed
(YeaYea)
Ten toes down and they can't stand it
(Can't Stand It)
I got some pain I need to manage
(YeaYea)
Some shit that you can't bandage
Gave out so much help
I forgot to help myself
With this love I got left
Imma love myself
(Love myself)
Sometimes life get bitter
But it get better
Rain,snow,sleet,hail
Yea the storm the weather
(Gotta weather the storm)
Hills and valleys but we made it over
Hills and valleys but we made it over
Ups and downs but it's never over
(Ups and downs but it's never over)
(Ups and downs but it's never over)
(Ups and downs but it's never over)
